High School Drama's Chp.2
Ben had been sitting on a desk by himself in his english class, staring out the window wishing for freedom.
He hated being back here, He had the option to drop out of school. But he knew that if he did, his parents,
gwen and kevin wouldnt be pleased at him.
He took a long exhausted sigh as he brought himself from those thoughts and looked up at the teacher.
"Now! can anyone tell me why shakespere wrote about love?" Mr burr had said looking around the class room.
(A/N: Ok i dont any of the teachers but...im making some teachers from mine and yoyo's school. Anyway..)
One person had raised their hand out of the whole intire classroom and ben couldnt help but notice. A girl.
Teenage girl, Short shoulder length black hair, Dressed in a light baige cardigan with a white tanktop underneath,
pair of denium blue jeans and white converse trainers.
"Ah yes, miss yoyo. Here we are again. Please make this worth my day." Mr burr had said as he leaned his arm onto his desk looking at the girl for some hope.
"Shakespere wrote about love because, of how he embraced the true meaning of love with two people. He wrote romeo and juliet for starters." the girl replied smiling slightly. She seemed pretty amused with her answer, until...
"Yes, but what was romeo and juliet based about?" he asked getting pretty annoyed.
"About two rival families that had constant wars on their hands and their children fell in love." she replied leaning against the back of her chair with her arms crossed.
"Very well, i guess that will do. What was the name of the two families?" he asked looking around the class once more.
"Montague and Capulet" the girl interrupted.
"Wow you must be a fireball today miss yoyo." she nodded once again smiling.
"Everyone open your books to the first page and i want you all to read." "Erm, Excuse me sir?" ben said outloud raising his hand. Mr burr looked at him and so did everyone else in the class.
"Yes Mr..?"
"Ben. Ben Tennyson." he replied letting his hand fall slowly.
"Ah yes! another giver into shakespere. Whats wrong?"
"I was wondering if perhaps i could get someone to show me the ropes."
Mr burr let out a sigh before purching his lips unsatisfied with what ben had said.
"I'd be more than happy to help him." yoyo said.
"Well, i dont see the harm of it. Go on so we can continue with the lesson." he said waving his hand for yoyo to hurry up.
She nodded and picked up her things before walking to the back of the classroom and sitting down next to ben.
He gave a small nervous smile before she opened her book to the first page.
"Are you new here?" he looked up at her confused.
"S'cuse me?" he asked.
"I said are you new here? to this school?" he shook his head.
"No, ive been here awhile. Its just that..." he lowered his head slightly not knowing what to tell her.
"Just that what?" she asked.
"Ive had some time off." he replied couldnt blurt out that he had a watch called the omnitrix that allowed him to change into diffrent types of aliens. She would think that he was nuts.
"Oh cool. So what'd ya do?" he thought quick for a few seconds.
"Went on a vacation." she nodded her head before she was interrupted by Mr burr staring at her. Both yoyo and ben saw this and immedently stopped talking and began reading.
"I never understood shakespere." yoyo looked up from her book confused.
"As in what?" she said.
"As in shakespere himself. His books or poems, just seem to have that sad ending all the time." he replied closing his book.
Yoyo began to chuckle abit before she opened his book again.
"Yeah, but if you think about it. There's always a story behind each one."
"Oh really? like what?" he asked resting his cheek in his hand.
"Well, with romeo and juliet. Its all about love,war,death, there's so many reasons. But it would mainly be that romeo fell for a girl he just met, on the capulet side. And no matter how many times his parents could have told him to stay away, he needed her."
she replied sighing.
"Well, yeah. But he married her though about five minutes of knowing her." ben said trying to make a point.
"Yes, but only because he knew that both their parents would find out at any moment." yoyo said backing up her point.
"But they died!"
"Only cause it was forbidden love!" she yelled. Before they both relised that the whole room had gone quiet, and she could feel herself slowly sliding down her seat.
"You two!" mr burr said as he raised his voice at a certin level. He walked over and grabbed both of their books before they saw him flick through some pages.
"Read me this, both of you." ben and yoyo looked at eachother uncertin of what was going off, but did so anyway to end the stares.
(Ben- Romeo Yoyo-Obviously juliet)
SCENE II. Capulet's orchard.
Enter ROMEO ROMEO He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
JULIET appears above at a window
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
JULIET Ay me!
ROMEO She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head As is a winged messenger of heaven Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds And sails upon the bosom of the air.
JULIET O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
ROMEO [Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
JULIET 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.
ROMEO I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;
Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
JULIET What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night So stumblest on my counsel?
ROMEO By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am:
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
Because it is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the word.
JULIET My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound:
Art thou not Romeo and a Montague?
ROMEO Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.
JULIET How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death, considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
ROMEO With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do that dares love attempt;
Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me.
JULIET If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
ROMEO Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.
JULIET I would not for the world they saw thee here.
ROMEO I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
And but thou love me, let them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
JULIET By whose direction found'st thou out this place?
ROMEO By love, who first did prompt me to inquire;
He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
I would adventure for such merchandise.
JULIET Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.
ROMEO Lady, by yonder blessed moon I swear That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-
JULIET O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
ROMEO What shall I swear by?
JULIET Do not swear at all;
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee.
"UN-Belivable! You two are truly amazing." Mr burr had started clapping as so did a few other people in the class.
"I dont understand, what?" ben asked confused.
"You and miss yoyo. Are truly remarkable! you said those few paragraphs like they were brought to life. I have high hopes for you both."
He walked away and picked up the phone on his desk before dialing a number into it.
"What does he mean by all of this?" ben turned to face yoyo still confused.
"Im not so sure myself. If i did i would have told you by now." she replied before he ran back over to them both.
"I would like both of you to come and see my at lunch if you dont mind. I have a suprise for you both." Mr burr said smiling away. While yoyo and ben nodded their heads still trying to figure out what he was talking about.
~AT LUNCH~
"What do you think the suprise is?" yoyo asked turning to ben.
"Beats me." he replied before they both walked into the classroom, and seen the drama teacher standing with mr burr.
"There they are! my two NEW favorite students." mr burr exclaimed with joy.
"Um, thank you sir." ben replied shrugging his shoulders at yoyo.
"I hear that both of you read out romeo and juliet." "Yes thats right Ms Parker." yoyo replied still confused as ben.
"Then its settled! you two will be in my play." ms parker said. Just as she was ready to go out, ben had actually stopped her.
"Play? What play?" ben asked looking at ms parker.
"Silly boy. For romeo and juliet ofcourse." Both ben and yoyo looked at eachother before looking back at ms parker.
"WHAT?" they both said at the same time.
"You make the characters come to life, and i want that in my play. Look, no one else will do it and your both my only hope." ms parker replied leaning against the door. Yoyo looked at ben before nodding her head.
"Oh! thats fantastic. Come tomorrow during 3rd period, i want to hear and see you both in live action!" before ben and yoyo could have a say she was already out of the room.
"Oh man, i got a bad feeling about this."
yoyo: wow! but i dont know shakespere y3llow: -whisper- these guys dont have to know about that ben: im in a PLAY?
